The Internal Revenue Service is extending the tax filing deadline about one month from April 15 to May 15, according to CNBC.
Taxpayers will have additional time to file their 2020 tax returns and pay any amounts owed to the IRS. Because May 15 falls on a Saturday, CNBC reported the final deadline for filers may be the following Monday, May 17.
In January, the IRS pushed back the start of tax season to Feb. 12 to give the agency more time to prepare following the December COVID-19 relief bill, which included a second round of stimulus checks that the IRS was in charge of delivering. At the time, the agency kept the typical April 15 filing deadline.
